I gotta say that if there’s one thing from today’s inauguration that was amazing, it was Beyonce singing our national anthem accompanied by the United States Marine Band. No matter how you feel about her, she did a fantastic job, as did the band, and you should listen to it if you haven’t:

This is something else entirely. That one can not complement someone on a job well done is amazing. Are you so afraid that someone will think you agree with their politics. Is it possible to disagree without being disagreeable. Wow.

She 'lip-synced' it. Probably didn't want to take the chance on forgetting the words like so many of her cohorts have. I mean, it's not like it's a song she's probably sung more than twice in her life, right? ;-)

Now, if it was something P-Diddy or Snoop Dog put out, she could probably nail it on the first try.

What took place yesterday is that Barry Boy proclaimed himself THE IMPERIAL KING OF AMERICA! Every single word that was spoken, was indicative of Chairman Mao. Or for that matter TOJO himself. For those of you whom are question to that for what ever reason. Read up on your history and watch vintage footage of these Narcissistic adolescent boys!

Fantastic: America has a totalitarian president and Beyonce is the biggest cheerleader of the Marxist Regine. Fantastic. My Sarcastic remark.

Under no circumstances did I even entertain the thought of watching this. The whole lot of them are beyond disgusting, shameful, and repulsive. They reek of evil. Just knowing that she, along with all the other disgusting liberal elites in the spotlight, support this evil monsterous communist hitler wannabe man makes her extremely ugly inside and out. I would have rather listened to one of those air horns for 30 min. straight than listen to her. The whole thing is just a blasphemy and mockery of both God and our country!

Kelly Clarkson did a much better job with the song she sang before Beyonce. Beyonce is just a pop artist with a big butt. Decent Singer but that's it.

Was the Inauguration today? I guess I missed it. There was a 'Pawn Stars' marathon on the History Channel all day today.

'Pawn Stars' is an (un) reality show. every moment of it is scripted. They are all acting.

This inauguration was an (un) reality show as well, every moment of it was scripted. They were all acting.

So, what's the difference? #1. It's entertaining. #2. It doesn't have any effect on every facet of my life, I can turn 'Pawn Stars' off. It's not going to cost me a cent or any of my liberty, to do it.

All this demonstrated to me is that she memorized the first verse of the poem 'The Defence of Fort McHenry'. I doubt she knows the last verse.

"O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: ’In God is our trust.’

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

There's more to it than that for me, my friend. The words of the National Anthem and the secure future of 5 little girls like that, is what 57,000 of my 'Nam Brothers' died to protect.

The poem 'The Defence of Fort McHenry' was written by Francis Scott Key, a prisoner on a British navy ship, watching an assault on America and praising the fact that when all was said and done, "Our flag was still there".

We are under assault from within right now and Beyonce was merely reciting the words of a song she barely understands, in praise of the leader of that assault on "The land of the free and the home of the brave".

The hypocrisy of the whole thing, sickens me.

When I saw that they were kids I thought you were being sarcastic, but......

WOW !!!

I followed the link and bookmarked their website. That was awesome !!

Did you notice there are 8 million+ hits on that you tube link. ;-)

Just think, if the Cactus Cuties weren't all grown up now (and were slightly darker complected), Obama could have 'used' them in his inauguration.

kong1967
kong1967

Nope, didn't notice the 8 million hits, but that's unbelievable.

They'd have to be black, hate America, love Obama, or all of the above in order to sing at an Obama event.

What I love about the song is that you can personalize it and make it your own. I love how different variations of the notes are used and the song never gets dull.

Man, I so hear ya... I've been in that boat and it sucks when you only have one oar and you feel like the current is against you. :)

I miss all of you here, too. Obama is driving me nuts and my anger level has been at an all time high, lol. I've been trying to catch a break and stay away from the computer.

I was thinking something similar...

Back when the song was cherished and America was a proud country.

I thought Kelly Clarkson's "America" was just as good, if not better than Beyonce. Borth were amazing though, just wanted to give kelly props!

She was great, but the band was ten times louder than she was. I hated that.

I wouldn't give these two women the time of day nor two cents of my hard-earned money to listen to their music.

Anyone who supports the Traitor-in chief-whether by word, deed or song, deserves to lose their fans and any shred of respect anyone of us may have had for these entertainers.

Conservative_Hippie

Yeah, but Linky1, she's a singer. How is her singing "America" supporting Obama? I know Beyonce has come out and expressed her political favor with Obama so she's fair game, but Clarkson, as far as I know, has not expressed any love affair with Obama.

Linky1

By being there, she is part of the problem, not the solution.

Let's face it-politics and entertainment are incestuously intertwined - that goes back years and years. Obama and the gang are appealing to the youth of the country-while I don't know much about Ms. Clarkson, I assume she is young and appeals to that age group. Therefore, her fans would watch her and the freakshow surrounding her performance-the inauguration.

IMHO, she does not know any better and is a pawn in all of this. Fans who may not like this speak to her through her pocketbook by not supporting her - that's the only way to express displeasure today.
